dc.description.abstract | The tidal freshwater areas of estuaries have received little attention in ecological research although they are often heavily stressed by environmental impacts. These critical habitats contribute significantly to the biodiversity of the entire estuarine system. The present study aims to describe the fish diversity, assemblage structure and seasonal dynamics through data collected by intensive sampling of the tidal freshwater stretch of the Hooghly estuary (June 2010 to June 2012), the largest estuary in India formed in the Gangetic delta. The tidal freshwater zone of Hooghly has gained importance due to ecological changes during the post-Farakka period since this zone covers 74% of the total estuarine stretch. During the study, a total of 155 fish species belonging to 49 families and 15 orders were recorded from the tidal freshwater zone of the Hooghly estuary. The exotic ornamental fish Barbonymus altus (Tinfoil Barb) has been recorded from the tidal freshwater zone which is the first record of these species in Indian inland waters. A detailed analysis of the fish diversity revealed that of the total 155 species recorded from the study, 19 species have been listed in category of threatened fishes by National Bureau of Fish Genetic Resources (Lakra et al., 2010). This includes 16 vulnerable (VU) species and 4 endangered (EN) species. This signifies the role of tidal freshwater zone as an essential fish habitat due to its rich fish diversity and as a sheltered area which favours the growth and survival of larval and juvenile fish assemblages. | en_US |
